adb logcat outputs the log file in real time
to stdio, with already past <br>
data included at the beginning.<br>
<br>
To get mythfrontend log -<br>
adb logcat mfe:D *:S |& tee android.log<br>
<br>
To get full android log<br>
adb logcat |& tee android.log<br>
<br>
Press ctrl-c to stop it.<br>

<div>I have the logcat working but I notice
that there is not much information once view
a recording start. No indication of anything
I do with the keyboard or remote. I'm
trying to catch a log when the timeline
problem I have shows up.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there an equivalent in Android to
--loglevel debug?</div>

In the front end on the android<br>
Setup->General->Remote Control->Enable
Network Remote Control Interface<br>
You have to restart frontend for it to take effect<br>
Then, on linux:<br>
telnet <android ip address> 6546<br>
set verbose playback<br>
<br>
I am not sure if you can set debug, perhaps with
general:debug<br>

<div>Thanks, using this info I ran a test where my
Nvidia Shield TV was running Android Mythtv-frontend
VERSION: v31.0/fixes/31 31.20200101-1 91 QT/5.14.1
DBSchema/1361 which is the latest I see on the android
wiki links (<a
href="https://dl.bintray.com/bennettpeter/generic/mythtv_31/android_64/:mythfrontend-20200323-arm64-v31.0.apk"
rel="nofollow" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">mythfrontend-20200323-arm64-v31.0.apk</a>)
not sure why the version from telnet query version
isn't the same.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I select Live TV and once it starts I backup a few
seconds to make the video not so jumpy. This is
standard practice for me on Live TV on any frontend
platform. I started this test at 16:17 and at 16:31, I
noticed a lot of jitter in the picture. I checked the
adb logcat and the display was posting a lot of
entries per second. At the beginning you'd see 1 per
sec. Normally I'd backup a few seconds to fix it for
a while. However, sometimes it fixes itself on it's
own. This time it fixed before I could come back in
and skip backwards. The issue is my adb linux system
is in another room. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So I posted a log file on my google drive and the
link is below. You see the number of entries increase
around 16:31. Hopefully, this data will help point to
a solution.</div>

<div>This situation was the same except it shows the effect of
fixing the problem temporarily with a skip backwards -15
seconds.</div>

Have you tried adjusting the audio read-ahead setting in frontend
setup? (Setup->Video->Playback->Advanced->Audio
read-ahead). You can increase this value to 500, 1000, even up to
5000 and see if it helps.<br>
